King Charles and Camilla have been pictured taking a stroll together on their first morning in Australia.
The royal couple were spotted ambling on the lawns of Admiralty House in Kirribilli on Sydney’s north shore around 10am this morning, the first day of their whistle-stop five-day visit to Australia.
His Majesty cut a casual yet stylish figure in an open-necked blue shirt paired with a beige sports jacket and cream chinos, while Camilla opted for a dark blue summer dress and matching cardigan.
The Queen looked effortlessly chic as she admired the gardens behind a pair of sunglasses, while Charles squinted into the bright morning sun.
They were both seen chatting with the King’s bearded personal bodyguard and other members of their security detail.
It is the first time they have been spotted since they arrived on Friday night where they were greeted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and partner Jodie Haydon in the pouring rain.
Saturday has been scheduled as a rest day to allow the couple to recover from the long journey but there is fevered speculation they may make an appearance at the Everest event at Royal Randwick.

The couple are staying at Admiralty House, the official residence of the governor-general of Australia, which has sweeping views across Sydney Harbour to the Opera House.
On Friday night, the sails of the Opera House were illuminated with images of previous Royal visits to Australia.
The lighting up of the landmark was organised despite the New South Wales (NSW) government having axed a similar proposal for the Coronation due to cost.
It comes almost 18 months after NSW Premier Chris Minns dumped plans set by the former coalition state government to light up the venue in May 2023.
This time, the government allowed the projection, saying it ‘consists of a four-minute photo montage from Their Majesties’ previous visits to the state and the nation’.
The Royal visit is the couple’s first trip to Australia since Charles became King in 2022.
